Effect & use
For normal movement deployment, spend one movement point to place an off-board Dark Arts Pawn on an available Deployment Space; continue resolving the card’s legal movement.
Where to find it / how to resolve it
Use an Explore card’s movement to deploy a pawn from the Dark Arts pool. During setup, four Dark Arts Pawns begin on the four deployment spaces in the grounds.
Restrictions & timing
- A Deployment Space already holding a Dark Arts Pawn is unavailable, even if that pawn is stunned.
- Deployment is for Dark Arts Pawns and is not a free teleport to any map space.
- The three-point Conspire has a separate effect deployment instruction whose movement-point cost is not expressly linked to this normal movement cost in the public text. The wiki leaves that interaction unresolved.

Consistent terms, section search and two-side teaching
Unified 35 sourced English–Chinese terms and registered all three open rule questions. Search and guide backlinks now lead to matching sections in the current language. Added card-flow diagrams, conditional Dark Arts lessons and exact movement allowances alongside the five existing House comparisons.

Content quality work in this revision
Added a 24-category component catalogue, nine sourced card examples and a rechecked Alohomora entry; the catalogue remains an identified sample rather than a complete Acquire Deck. Added a complete setup and first-round walkthrough with a player-count checklist, cross-links across all eight guides, reference information boxes, a clarification register, page-specific history and local correction drafts. This records reviewed preview content, without announcing the custom-domain launch.
